Lazy Garam Masala Recipe | Indian Recipes

This meal is one we always eat too much of. I recommend using Sweet Baby Rays or Jack Daniels original BBQ sauce. A good quality sauce makes a lot of difference. I serve it with my Sweet, Creamy Coleslaw #100526.

Quinoa Side Dish - Veg Broth, Herbs, Garlic, Onion, Butter, Lemon Juice....Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the quinoa, and toast, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in broth, and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for 15 minutes, or until quinoa is tender. In a bowl, toss quinoa together with garlic, parsley, thyme, salt, and onion. Sprinkle with lemon juice, and serve.

anne burrell pasta carbonara

Spaghetti Carbonara- "The Best Thing I Ever Made" on Food Network, by Anne Burrell.

Spaghetti Alla Carbonara recipe from celebrity chef Anne Burrell. So simple, awesome for the not-so-chef-types such as myself. I've made this twice in the past month for my family and it is definitely one of our new favorites. DELICIOUS! Not sure if it says in the recipe, but you can use bacon instead of pancetta, which is what I do. Pancetta is the same as bacon, pork belly, but has not been smoked like bacon but HELLO who doesn't like bacon!?, it turns out just as scrumptious! And I didn't know what pecorino cheese was, sounded fancy.. so I just went with the shredded asiago I had in the fridge and this meal was still the bomb diggety. Watch the video! This is Anne Burrell's personal favorite and was featured on the show "Best Thing I Ever Made". Comfort food at it's best.

Spaghetti alla Carbonara recipe from Anne Burrell via Food Network

Spaghetti alla Carbonara Recipe from Anne Burrell (I love her - she is crazy). Really easy pasta dish to make when you don't have anything else planned for dinner... I always have eggs, spaghetti, cheese and pepper on hand.

This is seriously good!! I cut the recipe in half using 1 large bay leaf and there was still plenty of leftovers for two people. Do not cook the pasta before hand and it doesn't need the sour cream. From Paula Deen via The Food Network

Goulash & other main dish recipes

A Southern Girl Where you'll find a little bit of everything… « Kyleigh One happy little boy… » Paula Deen’s Goulash (the best EVER) This really is the absolute BEST goulash I’ve ever had. It is really simple, and is even better reheated. My 4 year old actually ate it, and anyone who knows him knows that he is a SUPER picky eater. Ingredients 2 lbs lean ground beef 2 medium yellow onions, chopped 3 cloves garlic, chopped 3 cups water 2 (15 oz) cans tomato sauce 2 (15 oz) cans diced tomatoes 2 tablespoons Italian seasoning (I didn’t use this) 3 bay leaves (I didn’t use this either) 3 tbsp soy sauce 1 tbsp Paula Deen’s House Seasoning (Again, didn’t use this in mine) 1 tbsp salt 2 cups elbow macaroni *I added garlic powder, seasoning salt, and a little pepper to mine. Get recipe for Paula’s House Seasoning HERE In large pot, cook ground beef over medium heat until browned, spoon off any extra grease. Add onion and garlic, saute until transparent. Add 3 cups of water, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, all seasonings, soy sauce, and bay leaves (if you choose to use them). Allow to simmer for 15-20 minutes. Add macaroni and allow to simmer an additional 20 minutes or until tender. Remove bay leaves before serving. This stuff is GOOD!!! Posted on November 13, 2011 by A Southern Girl.

Tawanda, for ground venison, if they process it correctly, venison chili meat should be an 80/20 or sometimes 70/30 lean/fat. I usually have them mix it with pork to achieve this. When cooking it, it behaves almost like beef chili meat. If you are not sure or you have a very lean venison chili meat, just mix 2 parts venison to 1 part Jimmy Dean Hot sausage then cook it down. Or have your processor mix it when when he grinds it. -sam Reply Kellyann December 17, 2013 - 8:50 pm | Permalink Beans or no Beans, is not a debate Sam. It’s a preference.

I don’t like chili powder in my goulash tho. Reply Zeppelinmonger December 18, 2013 - 4:41 am | Permalink Regardless of so called “purists” who claim that real chili has no beans, I think the majority of people tend to prefer beans in their chili. These purists usually hail from Texas, but I know plenty of Texans who enjoy beans in their chili as well. So it really is a matter of personal taste. I have never cared for kidney beans in general, and especially in my chili; but I put pinto beans in my chili. The only time that chili should never have beans of any type is when you use the chili for chili dogs. Reply angela December 17, 2013 - 11:06 pm | Permalink Exactly what I was thinking. Reply Josie December 16, 2013 - 5:00 pm | Permalink I add a little sugar to mine to smooth the taste out and to counteract the acid in the tomato products.

I do find that I like to try a recipe as it is written, then I decide if it needs to be tweaked or not. I think it is good to have variety and be open minded. Switching up a little is good. My boys, now men 17,19, 23, and 53 love my cooking most of the time, but they do enjoy trying new things. I laughed when my hubby talked about this recipe, I told him I thought the best goulash I had was when I was a kid in school! It was great! Reply Glenyce December 17, 2013 - 7:07 am | Permalink This isn’t goulash……no paprika. But it is almost identical to my spaghetti meat sauce served over spaghetti but minus the macaroni. I think Paula needs to give me a better name…..goulash is misleading. Reply Marsha Boles December 18, 2013 - 10:38 am | Permalink I tend to think “goulash’ came home from Europe post WWII and got tweaked regionally. ‘Comfort food’ none the less. My dad was in the Philippines and came home trying to duplicate ‘goulash’ army cooks served and taught it to his bride. And the tweaking goes on. Try a little harressa for extra punch. At our house, more likely to be served over rice than with macaroni. Reply lisa December 18, 2013 - 1:04 pm | Permalink there obviously is different versions of goulash. One doesn’t make the other “wrong”. I’ve never in my life heard anything about putting paprika or chili powder in it. If you put chili powder in, it will taste like chili, not goulash!…..

I also don’t use bay leaves or soy sauce or her seasoning and I use large shell pasta. The main thing I see missing is celery. I’ve never had goulash that didn’t have sliced celery in it, and I also ass celery salt if I have it around but I don’t use nearly as much salt as this called for. I use one can of sauce and two cans of water. I’m accustomed to goulash being a little runnier than I think this would be, the celery and the watery consistency helps sit it apart more from spaghetti sauce than I think this recipe does. Reply Debbie R December 17, 2013 - 5:33 pm | Permalink I make the exact same but I put it in a casserole dish cut slices block cheddar cheese layer on top and bake for 30 minutes on 375.

Reply Renee Sunday December 17, 2013 - 7:17 pm | Permalink Our family recipe for this has been passed down in my family for many generations. Mom always used stewed tomatoes (usually from our own garden) and tomato juice instead of tomato sauce. I agree that paprika is a must for goulash. We never put bay leaves or soy sauce in ours. Great for winter nights and very economical.

She was from the area where goulash and paprikas originated. She called the beef dish goulash and made with chicken it was paprikas. For goulash she used stewing beef, or similar cut, say one or one and a half pounds. She chopped onions equal in bulk to the beef. Brown beef and onions with lots of paprika. (to taste and to give dish it’s rich color) She used salt. I would add black pepper. Then add water to just cover the beef and simmer until beef is fork-tender. Notice, she didn’t add tomatoes. I have cooked a dish similar to these, but called it chili. Reply Terry December 17, 2013 - 11:46 pm | Permalink I use ground round, kidney beans, chili beans, onion, green pepper, tomato sauce or soup, and whole wheat macaroni.

You should try using bay leaves… they add a lot of flavor. I make a similar dish with no recipe and just use whatever I have in it.

Reply Tierney Clark December 18, 2013 - 1:57 pm | Permalink Well since everyone is throwing in stuff lol, mine is much like Paula’s but I add bell pepper to the meat as it cooks, then velveeta cheese, let it cook the liquid out. I usually cook my macaroni some first while the meat is cooking, but uncooked would certainly soak up some of the juice from the canned tomatoes. Add liquid as needed. It’s the only “hamburger helper” my grandkids will eat Reply Ami December 18, 2013 - 2:48 pm | Permalink This is similar to my recipe.

It started out as chili one night, but when I discovered I didn’t have any chili powder I omitted the chili beans (not kidney beans) and added the Dill Weed. The rest is history. Over the years I have added corn or green beans, but the main ingredient secret has always been the dill. Dill goes well with chicken, anything tomatoe based, carrots, green beans, broccoli, oh and pickles!! LOL! My kids called me the dill queen! HaHa!

Reply d December 21, 2013 - 9:50 pm | Permalink so, you didn’t use this recipe really at all…. lol. I left this out, I added this, i left that out, oh and I left this out and adeed that…. totally different taste Reply Bill Thayer December 22, 2013 - 5:47 am | Permalink I’m going to try this but I will add some green pepper as well! Reply Cheryl Ziemann December 22, 2013 - 6:58 am | Permalink This kinda reminds me of Johnny Marzetti but then it doesn’t have all these ingredients. Chili mac yes, goulash no. I did read through all the comments and I have seen some great recommendations! I am now very hungry for this what ever we shall call it. My fiance is Hungarian, came here when he was 7, so I won’t be telling his mother this is goulash. Lol. So I’m gonna try this and cut down some of the sodium. Merry Christmas, happy holidays, happy Kwanzaa, and last but not least Happy Festivus. There hopefully I haven’t insulted anyone. LORD ONLY KNOWS YOU CAN’T BE TOO POLITICALLY CORRECT THESE DAYS. Reply Kimberley Kish December 22, 2013 - 6:29 pm | Permalink This is not a Hungarian guylas. It’s not served over noodles. It’s more like a soup/stew. Reply Sue December 22, 2013 - 7:29 pm | Permalink Wouldn’t this be VERY salty with 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon salt, AND 1 tablespoon of Paula Deen Seasoning? Has anyone made the recipe as given, without any changes or deletions? Thank you! Reply Barb M December 22, 2013 - 6:28 pm | Permalink As I have been reading through all of these comments and adjustments to family recipes, I am wondering what the ‘experts’ would call what has been known as goulash in my family. What my mother made was very quick and simple. Just browned some ground beef, seasoned it and while that was cooking, she boiled the macaroni in salt water. When tender, she drained the macaroni, added the ground beef, stewed tomatoes and red kidney beans. And we grew up calling it goulash. And that is the way I have done it in my home for 60 years. As I said, just quick and simple but tasty on a cold evening. Reply Carolyn December 23, 2013 - 11:45 am | Permalink I have never seen so many people pick a recipe apart!!!! This is Paula’s recipe. If you are going to try it, make it just as it is written. THEN you can compare yours to her’s. Reply Paula Deen’s Goulash (the best EVER) This really is the absolute BEST goulash I’ve ever had. It is really simple, and is even better reheated. My 4 year old actually ate it, and anyone who knows him knows that he is a SUPER picky eater. Ingredients 2 lbs lean ground beef 2 medium yellow onions, chopped 3 cloves garlic, chopped 3 cups water 2 (15 oz) cans tomato sauce 2 (15 oz) cans diced tomatoes 2 tablespoons Italian seasoning (I didn’t use this) 3 bay leaves (I didn’t use this either) 3 tbsp soy sauce 1 tbsp Paula Deen’s House Seasoning (Again, didn’t use this in mine) 1 tbsp salt 2 cups elbow macaroni *I added garlic powder, seasoning salt, and a little pepper to mine. Get recipe for Paula’s House Seasoning HERE In large pot, cook ground beef over medium heat until browned, spoon off any extra grease. Add onion and garlic, saute until transparent. Add 3 cups of water, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, all seasonings, soy sauce, and bay leaves (if you choose to use them). Allow to simmer for 15-20 minutes. Add macaroni and allow to simmer an additional 20 minutes or until tender. Remove bay leaves before serving. This stuff is GOOD!!!
